Try as I might, I can’t really come up with a video game I’d recommend emulating in real life–for whatever reason, there aren’t too many titles based around cleaning your room or eating all of your vegetables. Whenever someone gets it in their head to reenact a game, it’s nearly invariably a terrible idea.
Take, for example, the recent story of a 23-year-old South Carolina man, who decided it would be a good idea to translate Frogger into the real world, ala Seinfeld. The man is in stable condition after attempting the feat, running across the street after his friends shouted “Go,” only to be struck by a Lexus SUV.
According to the local chief of police, the similarity to the popular Atari game isn’t coincidental. The man and his friends were really attempting to act out the game. His name has not yet been released.
